Obama Defends Daylight Savings Time on Jimmy Kimmel

‘In the East Coast, you don’t mind losing that hour because that’s a signal that spring is here’

KIMMEL: "Do you reset the clocks with Daylight saving time?”

OBAMA: “No, somebody else does that for me.”

KIMMEL: “Somebody does that for you. Will you get rid of Daylight saving time? (Laughter) Or at least get rid of the part where we have to wake up earlier. You can leave the other one.”

OBAMA: “Well, see, this is a California thing, because you guys are always getting sun. In the East Coast, you don’t mind losing that hour because that’s a signal that spring is here.”

KIMMEL: “We only care about ourselves.” (Applause and Laughter)
